Asking for a quote

- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Extract fan cleaning in Cop Street, done properly
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include a noisy fan that has got louder over time and hot, greasy smells near the fan, on fan housings, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
Work in a small place like Cop Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Cop Street.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Cop Street kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Cop Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Cop Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Cop Street. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Cop Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 4.1 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Other services in Cop Street
Common problems we fix in Cop Street
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A motor area thick with grease
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Cop Street, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Part by part

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Cop Street
Do you cover smaller places like Cop Street?
Yes, Cop Street is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cop Street?
Cop Street is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
